I'm not holding back anymore. These are my unfiltered thoughts on this. If this nets me a warning, let me be warned.
It looks like the thread at this stage is just going to go around and around in circles. Sheet gets posted, it gets critique written up for it, suggestions are given, and people continue about their day. Sheet gets posted again, but the previous suggestions are largely skipped over or misinterpreted. So more critique is posted and suggestions are given, and people continue about their day again. Ad infinitum.
At this point, I'm not sure whether there's a failure to understand the suggestions - ask us so we can explain better if we have to! - or just a general contempt for the critique and suggestions wholesale that leads to it appearing to be ignored. I don't want to call for staff intervention on the subject if it's the latter, but will.
In regards to the mountains - and by extension the background alone - how could it not be clearer as to how much work is required for it? I'm not going back through the thread and looking for the amount of times that "Study the Sonic 2 style" has been said, but I'm confident that that suggestion, at the very least, was better off being spoken to a brick wall. I full well know I said to practice on something smaller in the Sonic 2 to get a feel for it but still the Zone sheet has proceeded to be worked on.
The Sonic 2 style is basically a distant memory where the original elements are concerned. I'm going to say it loud and clear: It does not match the Sonic 2 style in its current standard and a lot of studying of that style must be undertaken in order to achieve what you're aiming for. It is actually ridiculous to me that in 12 days we're still at pretty much the same position as we were at the start of the thread.
Read all the critique and suggestions, and acknowledge them. This is the only way you're going to get your sheet where you want it to be.
